Yuri fans this chapter:

Please! I don't want this to end in a threesome. I've had enough of the forced threesome. I hope Akane won't do anything with Jun.

Could you please point me to all these threesomes you seem to keep running into? For something you say is so ubiquitous I sure as hell am not seeing very many.

The amount of people who think this chapter means the Shiho arc is over is honestly both baffling and hilarious to me. Have they never read a romance manga before? At this point it's pretty clear Aki and Shiho are probably gonna end up together now. In fact, far more of the manga's run time has been dedicated to their romantic troubles than the actual MCs. If you seriously think Shiho is gonna "peace out" from the story now you're incredibly naive.

Are we pretending Gundam isn't yuri now?

Good point, though I'm a little worried they'll veer away because of drama. Hope not, though. Also yeah, Birdie Wing could be a thing. It has big lesbian vibes but could still be bait.

Yeah I just checked this spring's anime list and it wasn't there. I could swear one of the trailers I watched back in December said April, though.

Whoever is maintaining the list you used did an oopsy. WataYuri premieres April 6th, according to it's own site

Sorry I think there's been a misunderstanding. I meant I Love The Villainess. I thought a trailer a saw for it back in December said April.

And the only thing we get in April is Yuri Is My Job! -- ILTV isn't a spring series. Hopefully summer.

Yeah I just checked this spring's anime list and it wasn't there. I could swear one of the trailers I watched back in December said April, though.

Am I the only one that thinks this isn't going to make much noise at all? this isn't even that far well known on Yuri circles, it's one of those "not everyone's cup of tea" situation where it was already avoided before and it will certainly be avoided now by the same people, this is either going to be one of those Anime that the general audience will call "filler" of the season (It's one hell of an stupid term but it does happens) or just go under the radar of everyone who isn't from a Yuri circle

Yuri has been getting more and more high profile in general. Lycoris Recoil last year (even though it was bait mostly), Witch From Mercury, and this season Magical Revolution is topping tons of popularity polls in Japan and abroad. I Favor The Villainess will be starting next month. I feel like any yuri show is going to have increased popularity these days.

Maybe not? This being BDSM smut is pretty well known, so I'd expect most people that'd take issue with it simply won't watch

You'd hope, but unfortunately an anime adaption brings a new level of visibility, and that tends to come with a wave of people angry about something.

It'll be the age thing that they whine about the most. You'll get some people defending it because people tend to be more forgiving of something like this because of the yuri angle. But the age of the characters and the fact that the mangaka is male will have large amount of people dismissing it a fetish stuff aimed at men and calling it problematic for x-reasons. And yeah, Interspecies Reviewers got hit HARD by the controversy machine to the point it basically had to stop airing normally and lost it's dub. Then again, Redo of Healer managed to weather it. Though that was so audacious they basically knew exactly what they were doing and counted on that. It's hard to know what will happen with this, though I have a bad feeling. Then again, as long as nothing happens to the manga I don't really mind.

Yeah it looks like there's gonna be an anime. There's no way it isn't massively toned down, though. Honestly I have a hard time believing it will hold a candle to the manga. Too many people would whinge about it. Still, I guess we'll see.

I kind of wish some of the side characters had gotten a bit more resolution too. Poor clerk lady never got a gf.

So wasn’t this going to be bi-monthly? It isn’t even quarterly at this point. Unless it simply hasn’t been translated.

As a wise man once said: scum begets scum

Can we all just take a minute and admit that Hitomi's dad hit the damn jackpot with her mom!? Like damn!

Hitomi’s dad is peak male performance. Any woman would be lucky to have him (he looks just like Hitomi, after all).

I know people are gonna talk about the end more but…

then wives

Woah, woah, woah there. History has never shown two women to be more than good friends or, at most, roommates.

You know…there’s this thing you can do to resolve conflicts. It’s really good. And best of all it can help clear up misunderstandings. I forget what it’s called though. Com-something? But yeah, I’m sure this plan was a GREAT idea. Why even bother talking it out. This sends all the right messages.

If this were to ever get adapted into an anime, I wonder who would be cast as Hitomi-chan

You joke, but characters who never say a line HAVE had VAs before. A prominent example would be High Score Girl. The female lead never says a single line, but she makes noises.

Be Careful, Onee San

Also yaaaaaaaayyy our Yearly dose of Harumatsu!! see ya all next year for their next interaction xD

That seems highly optimistic. Wasn’t their kiss in like 2020? And we’ve had like zero follow up since.

Does anyone else have a problem with this and “trying to get together with my childhood friend” always releasing so close together? They tend to get mashed up in my brain.

Hello, I’ve got the delivery of drama you ordered.

Man it's weird being an EN fan right now. So many are on break or hiatus.

Wouldn’t be a yuri manga (or well any romance manga) without the requisite “nursing while sick” chapter.
